Help me with this odd sound please
Hey guys,
Very recently my car started making this odd noise as if there was a hole in the exhaust system or something. I'm not sure if that's possible but that is what it sounds like. Below is a link to vid of the odd sound. The sound seems to be coming from right underneath the driver side door. You guys know the layout and details of these cars more than I do so I thought I'd ask to see if any of you have ever heard such a thing. What do you think I have to do to fix it or do I have to replace something? How much do you think it will cost? etc...
Thanks so much for your help.
The car is a 2001 A4 2.8L with approx 127k under her belt

I've got a very very similar noise that only rears it's head in the rain. It will rumble a bit (sounds like a stick dragged across a fence fast) and then stop. Comes and goes seemingly randomly. Any thoughts? Its enough to put some vibration into the passenger seat. I recently had the exhaust redone to 2.5" turbo back and I think thats about when I heard the noise. I've looked and looked and cant find the issue. Should I look for a hole and then a refund? (I'm sick of the company already, went through a lot of **** already with them over my exhaust setup)

Thanks for the response guys. What part of the exhaust do you guys think this is? Can I just replace this one part/pipe or do I have to go and replace the whole system? (I'm not too savvy with exhaust systems...and frankly with anything else going on mechanically)
I too think it's a hole by the way, just judging from the sound. Nick what did you do when you found out you had a hole?

similar to what i posted here.https://www.audiforums.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=159177
listen to my video too, sounds very similar
And to top it off, just today. I had to go over a speed bump, exhaust caught it and this happened. So its extremely loud and pretty much undrivable
